A minute later some sloppy play gifted Berko an opportunity which Josh Chamberlain duly accepted to open the scoring for the hosts.

Despite this early setback Athletic looked dangerous on the break with Turner firing wide from a tight angle and Taylor Collins seeing a shot blocked.

The home were also creating chances, with Alex Campana firing a well hit shot from range straight at keeper Jack Hopwood before captain James Baldry headed a free-kick over.

Athletic had another golden opportunity in the 27th minute when Lee Stobbs shot wide of the near post when well placed, but three minutes later Berko again caught Tring out defensively when a routine cross was headed across goal to an unmarked Chamberlain who accepted his second gift of the day.
